NOVA

Climbing wall

Recognized with the iF DESIGN AWARD 2014, Discipline Professional Concept - gold

Nova is a climbing wall that redefines training at home through a new take on design expression and a compelling interactive interface. The wall consists of panels with pattern-cut-outs, which replace the colored holds of regular training walls. To offer a variety of climbing routes and difficulty levels, routes are flexibly indicated through light. Users select a route using their smartphone. The wall’s design expression took inspiration from bold architecture and decorative interior to create architectural beauty unlike any climbing wall today. When not in use, the climbing wall makes use of lighting to create a modern ambiance.

Jury-Statement

A climbing wall which can be integrated into the interior design of living spaces is something completely new and an excellent design achievement. Through the integrated light effect at the back this product has a unique modern feel. It is not an imitation of nature for an artificial space; rather it offers the same range of functions as a natural climbing wall, which makes it truly unique.
